Jessica R. Sofio

Attorney Jessica Sofio fiercely advocates for her clients and excels at formulating creative solutions to make otherwise-rough negotiations run smoothly and save clients from the burden of expensive and lengthy litigation. Her passion for bettering the lives of families has always been her main motivator and is the reason that her career highlights include hard-won achievements such as removing false restraining orders, reinstating custody following DCF discretion abuse, and obtaining global agreement settling a partition and estate matter to allow the familial home to stay within the family. Prior to her legal career, Jessica's passion for education led her to teach in special needs inclusion classrooms for both second and third grades. Her hands-on experience in education enriched her understanding of the challenges families face, particularly those navigating Individual Education Programs ("IEPs") and 504 plans. Recognizing the need for effective advocacy beyond the classroom, Jessica made the transition to law, driven by a commitment to be a powerful advocate for her clients. It is this background in teaching that gives her a soft spot for children of divorce and drives her to fight for the best interests of children in legal proceedings. Attorney Sofio graduated Magna Cum Laude with high thesis honors from Tufts University. She went on to obtain a Masters in Elementary Education as part of Boston College’s Donovan Urban Teaching Scholars Program and obtained her J.D. from Suffolk Law School in the Accelerated JD program.
